found them all being dishonest, went next day

o'BRIEN's VISIT.

Canadian Who Thinks the Agitator Is
Pursuing = Wrong Course.
Special to the Indiacapolis journal
WASHINGTON. May 21.-The visit Of editor
O'Brien to the Dominion of Canada is not likely
to result in great deal of good to the cause Of
the Irish people, if Canadians are to be believed.
A gentleman who resides in Ottawa. and who is
q sincere friend Of the Parnell party, is now in
the city. and was seen by your correspondent to-
day relative to the visit of Mr.. OBrien. This
gentleman said 81 cannot conceive how a man
with the intelligence with which Mr. O'Brien
is credited could have been led into such fool
hardy crusade. The Canadians, a rule, SYM
pathize heartily with the cause of home rule
but there is no people on earth more loyal than
these Same Canadians. They cannot possibly
alter the treatment which Lord Lansdowne ace
cords to his tenants, and it seems absurd that
any sensible man should think that he ac-'
complish any good for the oppressed tenants on
his lordsCips estates by 'agitating' in Canada
II would be equally sensible to talk in Austria
liza. or. for that matter, in Mexico Yet Mr..
OBrien does not intend to visit either of those
countries The fact is that this gentleman is
laboring under a delusion. He seems to think
that the colonists are ripe for any kind of revo-
lutionary talk. He is greatly mistaken. The
people of Canada are contented, and although
they willing to give literally of their means
to aid the cause of freedom in Ireland, they
not anxious listen to absolutely useless agita-
ton. It is because of this feeling of content
that the people of Toronto are opposed to tho
speeches OF the editor. If he had come to ask
for money aid the evicted and oppressed ten
ants he would have been cordially received. and
his speeches would have met with respectful

THE NATIONAL MILITIA.

The Gaudy Uniforms of the Southerners Cons
trasted with Northern PIainness.

The Southern men are in almost every style
of fancy uniform-barring the Scotch plaid.
They wore the shake of the grenadier. the bursa
and slashed jacket of the hussar. the helmet Of
the German. soldiers of the line. the pompons
and red breeches of the Frenchmen, the steel
corselets of the cuirassiers, the fezzes, baggy,
scarlet breeches and white leecines of the Tur-
cog the buff. faced coats and cooked hats of the
colonial soldiers, and even the fringed buckskin,
and coonskin caps of the American pioneers
They marched with great display. many banners
and much music but it did not look like war.
Like business was the parade of the Pennsyl-
vania militia. They wore the plain, stern army
blue; they marched IN solid company front. eight
thousand strong. with knapsacks strapped. with
cartridge boxes, ready to go into camp. in active
campaigning or, at the command, to wheel into
line of battle and engage an enemy. Their dis
play solid, massive and ominous rs the
display of their Southern brothers was brilliant
and beautiful A company from Massachusetts
in the continental dress was about the only
troops from the North that did not appear in thu
national uniform. BUT the sturdy men in blue
felt no lack of respect for their more fancifully
uniformed brethren, for many OF them knew by
sad personal experience of their fighting quail
ties, and plenty of them bore upon their bodice
the evidence OF the fighting qualities of thoss
who marched with them under the same flag.
